Overcooked Runt

A/N: Hello, and welcome to my fic Overcooked Runt! In case you didn't know anything about the fic, here's a little info. This is in the universe as The Last Citrine (You don't have to read the fic to know what's going on, but I would greatly appreciate it!) It is also from Amethyst's POV and from her life to death. It will be an ongoing story, and not any drabbles. Well, let me clarify. There will be MANY timecuts. It's not like you really need to read all the episodes. On The Run will be implemented in here, don't you worry. So will The Last Citrine. The chapters will be about 2000-4000 words long I believe. So, thanks for giving this a chance! I hope you enjoy!

Amethyst's POV…

Pop. Just like I would say thousands of years from now, that's all I heard. I saw darkness. I started to see some light. I stared right at it. There was wonder in my eyes. I crawled towards the light. I came out to see a large, desolate, wasteland. There were lots of rocks. An especially huge one was a little farther away to my left.

I started to walk around. It got a little getting used to. I managed to get it down mostly, just a few trips. I brushed myself off each time. I managed to find my way over to the giant rock. I latched onto it. I started to use what little strength I had to push myself forward. My purple hand slipped and I feel off my back.

"Stupid, rock!" I yelled. It echoed throughout the strange place. It was the only sound I heard other than the noises I was making. Eerie. I brushed myself of again. This time I had a few scratches, but I didn't care. I was going to climb this rock. I brushed my long, wild hair aside, and I tried again. I attempted to climb again, but no avail. I fell back again. Rocks were caught up in my hair that was down to my ankles. I looked at the yellow diamond on my uniform and gazed in wonder.

"Who is this, Yellow Diamond?" I asked myself. I was hoping someone else could answer. There had to be someone else in this place. I abandoned my dream of climbing that rock in search of something else. I walked around. I made sure to pay attention to my surroundings. Nothing moved, except me.

"Hello! Anyone here?" I yell. Again, just those stupid echoes. No reply is heard.

"Stupid echoes! Go away!" I scream. All I hear are choruses of go aways. Now I'm freaked out. Why do they want me gone?

"Sorry, I don't want to go away." I say quietly. The echoes don't say anything. Does that mean they like me? I keep walking. I walk until there is a cliff. I don't want to jump it, so I go back to my rocks. I can see a big rock, but not the climbing rock, in full view. I run to it and hug it. It just seems, I need it for some reason.

I wish it could hug me back. I want it to. I lose my temper too easily.

"Hug me!" I yell. I jump back from it and kick it. It splits into two rocks. I scare myself.

"How did I do that?" I say to myself. No answer, not even from myself. I go back to the climbing rock. I get a grip on it as hard as I can. I keep pulling myself up. I let my hands move upward as well. Soon enough, I'm on top of the rock.

"Yes! I did it!" I call out in glee. I look down. I feel so tall. I wonder if anyone's going to come for me. I don't think anyone is here. I jump down from the rock. I loud crush it heard on the ground, as I hit the hard ground. I look up to see many holes like mine going up the walls of this mysterious place.

"Hmmm…" I say to myself. I have an idea. I grab onto the wall, and start to push myself up. As soon as I tried to move my foot to climb, I fell down head first.

"Ow!" I yell, rubbing my head. That wasn't supposed to hurt, I was a gem. I think. I can remember being a gem. Nothing told me that, I just, knew. I started to climb again, I wasn't losing this battle. I got a little higher, then down to the ground I was again. I was about to start climbing again, but with that last climb one of the big pieces of junk fell right on me. It managed to wriggle myself out.

"Stupid piece of junk!" I yelled, kicking it. It didn't break apart like the other things did. I tried walking around again, but there was no one. I'm so lonely in here. I wish I had someone here with me. I glanced over at one of the machines. I ran to it.

1000 years later…

"Hyah!" I yelled, bringing my whip down on the gem machine. It sliced in half. Over the past 1000 years I have trained. I know to fight, so that's what I'm going to do. I crave for someone to fight with. I haven't gotten that, so for now, I slice up these old pieces of gem junk. I managed to at least learn how to summon my weapon.

The only thing that I have learned these past 1000 years is that I don't need anyone. No one wants me, and I don't want them. Plain and simple. Anyone tries to mess with me, well they won't see what's coming.

Truth is, it's a bit lonely. I want someone here. I don't need anyone though. Yet, I want someone. I don't know how. I don't know why. I just do. I sit on my sitting rock.

"I wish I had someone to talk to." I say to myself. Almost magically I hear something. I can't describe the sound. There was also a bright glow to go with it. I listen intently.

'What was that? Maybe someone?' I think to myself. I hope it was another gem. Finally someone to fight and play with! I try listening harder. I start to hear footsteps, and then. And then… are those voices?

"Rose, why are we in this horrible place?" A voice said. It sounded like a whiny thing. Also, horrible? This place wasn't that bad. I came from here so that should mean something!

"We need to make sure there aren't any corrupted gems or gem shards in this area. Any one of those could damage the place we fought for." Another woman said. Her voice was so… calming. This must be that Rose person. I back away to get closer to my hole. I want to go up to these people, but what if they hurt me?

I crawl into my hole. I make sure to stick my head out slightly to maybe hear that voice.

"This place is horrible! Just a big mistake in gem history!" The first voice said. A big mistake? What could they be talking about? Even if a bit lonely, this place is great!

"Pearl, I know. Let's not dwell on those thoughts." The woman, Rose, said. "Let's split up. You and Garnet go that way. I'll go this way." There was another person?

I started to hear more footsteps. Then, I saw the person in question, Rose. She was huge. Bigger than most of the rocks here! She was wearing a long dress. There was a star where her gem was. She had super long, curly hair that was surely bigger than mine. I wanted to go up to her. Maybe it was someone who wanted me for once.

'No.' I think to myself. 'Remember last time you were sure someone came for you? No one was there. No one wants you!' The last thought echoed through my mind. I was right though, no one wants me. I slid farthest I could into my hole. For some reason my eyes were watery. Was I trying to cry?

"I'm so weak and stupid! I'm not supposed to cry!" I yell to myself. I let myself go into a sob. I was weak, there was nothing I could do. These cries must have echoed through this empty place.

"Hm?" I could barely hear the huge gem say. I heard footsteps come closer to my hole. I heard the huge gem's dress ruffle and wrinkle as she bent down to see my hole.

"Hello?" She asked. I turned my head around. I could see her face now. She had pink lips, and big, black, eyes. She had an empathetic look on her face.

"Are you okay?" She asked me. I didn't know how to respond. My lips went faster than my brain.

"I just want someone!" I choke out in between sobs.

"Well, I'm here." She said to me in such a calming, soothing voice. She backed out of the hole slightly and held her hand out. I turned to look at it. Desperate, I grabbed her hand and pulled myself out.

"Now, what's your name?" She asked me as we started walking. I thought about it, trying to remember what gem I was.

"Amethyst." I said. I looked down. She probably knows that I'm nothing.

"Well Amethyst, I'm Rose. Nice to meet you. I think the others will really like you!" Rose said. She smiled.

We kept walking. We talked for a bit. Not about much. She asked how I was doing here. I told her it was horrible and I was so alone. Soon, we saw the other two gems.

One was tall, and red. She had square hair and a bodysuit. She had glasses that I couldn't see through. The other was white, and had her hair all pointy. She wore a see through thing on her blue shirt. She had long feet with red socks on them. Her gem was on her forehead. I was scared. I hid behind Rose.

"Guys! I found something!" Rose said. She signaled for the other two gems to come. When they came I noticed that they were taller than me as well. Great.

"What is it Rose?" The white gem said. Rose looked to the side. She noticed I wasn't there. She moved her hand that mine was in slightly, motioning for me to come out. I didn't want to lose this new gem, so I walked to the side. The other two gems opened their mouths in shock and gasped.

"Why would you bring that thing here? It's from this Kindergarten! We have to shatter it!" The tall gem cried out, summoning her weapon, a tall white spear. The other one summons huge gauntlets. They run towards me. I let go of Rose's hand and turn to run away.

"Get away from me! Leave me alone!" I yell out. I can hear their breathing from behind me. I get cornered in a wall. I cover myself with my hands. This is it. I know it. Anyway, why was that gem saying bad stuff about this place? Does that make me bad?

"Wait!" I hear Rose say. She jumps in front of the two gems and summons her weapon, a pink shield. I fall backwards. "Don't shatter her! What did she ever do?"

The white gem had a look on her face that said 'she was made' all over it. The other gem made her gauntlets disappear.

"Rose, we need to talk about this. We can't have a Kindergarten gem here!" The white gem exclaims. I get behind Rose again.

"My Pearl, please be sensible. We need her on the team, she could be a great help." Rose said. Finally, the red gem spoke up.

"I think Pearl is right. We fought to get rid of these horrible Kindergartens. What would be the point if we had a Kindergarten gem on our team?" She said, coldly and to the point.

"Guys, don't you see? She could give us more help in combat. She also needs a home." Rose said. Why were they saying such bad things? Am I bad? Am I a monster?

"Rose! We can't! All the Kindergarten gems just come out more bloodthirsty and murderous! How do we know she won't be like those monsters?" Pearl asked. She moved her hands to emphasize her point.

"My Pearl," Rose said with a slight sadness in her voice. "I-we don't. I just have a feeling though. Anyway, she's so young. We can make her not like those other gems. She can be a good gem."

"Fine, I don't know if I can trust her though." Pearl said, defeated. She gave me a glare that said 'watch your back' all over it. The red gem had a look that made me know she gave up too. Finally.

"Now let's go back to the temple." Rose said. She started walking, my hand in hers. We made it to a big, shiny, round thing. We all stepped on it. I was last, because I was afraid.

'What is this thing? Is it even safe?' I wondered. Seeing how Rose was safe, I stepped on it as well. There was a glow that came around everyone. We starting going up towards the sky.

A/N: Sorry this took so schnozbozzing long! Just school, trying to get Algebra II understood, and getting into Minecraft again are not in my favour. Also, I have two other fic ideas. Yeah . I'm going to go through with at least one in the near future. Good thing is, I have fall break all next week! That means plenty of writing time! So, for the first time in a while, I hope you like my fic so far!
